“With the future guaranteed payments now off the books, the Chiefs are expected to cut or trade Johnson.”
>>>>>
Expected by whom? Not me.

I think if we improve our line (which we are working on doing) he still has some good football left in him. Give him a solid line and he’s an animal. Johnson’s bread and butter is not outrunning linebackers, it’s hitting the hole his line provides for him and making the secondary his bitch.
That being said, he’s a crybaby and an asshole. So whether the Chiefs trade him or keep him it’s a win-win. But I say keep the guy and run him into the ground.

aren’t “dumbass” and “thug” rather synonymous with each…either way, they are BOTH dumbasses and thugs…between the two you have lots of run ins with the cops, and lots of court dates = dumbass and thug.

It basically opens up the door for teams to forfeit guaranteed money if the player gets into any trouble whatsoever. Some of you may be okay with that, but all I see is potential for abuse. And making “guaranteed” money less guaranteed than ever. Remember that guaranteed money is only a fraction of what their contract is anyway, and now it will be less.

It’s no different than if a coach gets fired and gets his contract paid out ‘Guaranteed’, unless it’s for cause. If you are upset (Colinito) about the players not getting enough money, be upset about the fact that they can be cut for no reason and lose out on the back end of a contract that was signed, not when it works as it should in the real world.
Also, I think that Burbank blew it in his interpretation of Article XIV, Section 9 of the CBA. If Burress knew or should have known that it was illegal to have the gun (and you’d have to be a complete moron to not know bringing a loaded weapon into a crowded nightclub would be a risky proposition), and also knew that suspensions and possible prosecution and jail time would be a likely result, then that should amount to intentional action. The language ‘has the effect’ seems to be broad enough to cover more than just deciding to retire or not show up.
